Rogue Demon Hunters defy projections, knock off Gandalf's Staff, 161-153

Rogue Demon Hunters brought their A game and outperformed their projected point total, securing a 161-153 win over Gandalf's Staff. Gandalf's Staff nabbed a 15-point lead early Sunday afternoon, but Rogue Demon Hunters held the lead the rest of the way. They were led by Derrick Henry (51 points) and the Buffalo Bills defense (36). Patrick Mahomes (343 Pass Yds, 3 Pass TDs) and Brandin Cooks (9 Rec, 78 Rec Yds, 1 Rec TD) led the charge for Gandalf's Staff in the loss. Rogue Demon Hunters (1-1) will look to maintain their winning ways against Catawba River Rats, while Gandalf's Staff (1-1) face The Killers in an effort to get back on track.
